Quite similar to mine which I got 9 days ago. Mine is Starfire Pearl, which is a nice pearly color. I really wanted the Fire Agate but they only had one in stock but it had 18 inch wheels. I test drove it, and found the ride to be certainly more rough though handling was a bit more sharp. My wife and I decided it was not worth getting a luxury car in which you felt every bump in the road! Dealer gave me $1900 off sticker. I had a guarantee of $1600 off sticker through Consumer Reports, but luckily my sales staff did somewhat better than that. I love my ES 350. Steering/handling is not as precise as my 2005 Acura RL, but I'll accept that loss to get a more quiet ride and superb comfort that the ES offers. Still in future models I wish there would be more precise steering.
I was going to wait to summer to get an Infinity Q50 but it will take premium gas, and is rear wheel drive, so I decided not to wait! I'm sure glad I went ahead. The sound system is quite good, but really, the sound is not as, well, hi fidelity as my Acura Bose.

I'm back.....after trading my SC430 for an A4 Audi...WHAT A MISTAKE...sold the Audi and picked-up 2013 ES350. Thank God.

Back Home. Love this new design. I guess I needed to see the 2013, because the 2012 lack luster, was dated, but the same reliability I came to enjoy. Very glade to be back.
